July 21, 1980

The Phils sent out Randy Lerch in an attempt to lift both him and the team out of their slumps.  It was not successful.  Lerch was hit hard and often by the Reds and, though they gave it a valiant effort, the offense was to come up just short.   Lerch's 12th loss was the Phils' fourth in a row, dropping them to three games behind the division leading Pirates.
